Minho stayed in the weapons room with the unconscious boy as Newt walked me back to the homestead. Telling me to wait by the stairs he walked away, he went to Alby talking to him for a minute before the leader looked at me and furrowed his eyebrows, he then forced two other boys to stand up and follow him.
Newt strode back over to me, smiling and waving his hand for me to go up the stairs. I obliged walking up the stairs to my room, Newt following behind, the door was open as he stood there unsure.
"I'm gonna get changed" I nod to him, he listens, spinning around and waiting outside the newly closed door.
I pulled off my shirt and pants, opening the box at the end of my bed, the only other pants I owned were my black cargo pants with a gaping hole in the left thigh and the only other shirt was my grey one drenched in dried blood. I threw the other clothes that consisted of blue jeans and a dirty white shirt into the box and shut the lid, sitting on the edge of the container full of my supplies. I looked up at the door, next to it was Newt closet, he had more clothes, I stood walking over to the splintered cupboard.
Opening the door to his cupboard I saw a bunch of folded shirts stacked up next to a fresh stack of pants. Pulling a plain black t-shirt and a pair of worn grey sweats I slid them both over my body, closing his closet and opening the door to my room, Newt stood on the other side facing the other wall.
Spinning around he saw my clothes "sorry" I smiled wryly.
He shook his head, "don't be" he smiled back stepping into the room, he moved past me keeping his eyes focused on my stature looking for something. I closed the door turning around to him, the familiar sense of home flowed through my body, "are you okay?" he questioned staring intently into my eyes.
I looked down at my hands as I fiddled with my thumb, "no" I whispered, moving around the blonde, I sat on my cot. I still needed to get my blanket back off of Minho. "I was finally feeling safe and then h..." my voice was caught in my throat, the memory playing back over in my mind. His touch was cold, chilling to the core, any time he laid a finger on me the touch sent shivers throughout my body. I reached up to the bruised skin, shivering at the pain applied when my hand touched it. Looking up at Newt his eyebrows were knitted together, "I didn't expect it" I said pulling my hand away and fidgeting with my thumb once more staring at the reddening skin.
Newt bent down in front of me reaching and grabbing my hand making my fidgeting come to a halt, I looked down at him not knowing what to do or say, the only safe place left in the glade for me was with him or at least that's how it felt.
"Thea, it's okay" he assured me, I pulled him forward enveloping him in a hug we both needed.
"Thank you" I whispered to him, laying down on the bed.
Getting up Newt left the room, returning with a blanket, laying it over me, I smiled up at him as he sat next to me. Holding my right hand in his "I'm going to let you sleep, okay?" I nodded answering his half question "okay" he stood up starting his walk out of my room.
Lifting my hand with his I tightened my grip, stopping him from walking any farther, he spun back around to face me. Staring down at our connected hands before looking into my pleading eyes, I didn't want him to leave, I didn't feel safe without him here.
"Stay... please?" I begged the brown eyed boy.
Surprise covered his expression, nodding his head Newt laid down on the bed next to me.
As we laid there the homey feeling felt as if it was mutual, Newt pulled me onto his chest letting my head rest on his shoulder and my arm lay on his stomach, he was warm. "Goodnight love" he breathed.
I smiled at his words "goodnight Blondie" I replied.
The blissful sleep that weighed down my eyelids allowed me to fall into the darkness happily sending me off into sleep.
